2005 Pontiac Montana Brakes Problems

“The attached date is the latest of the failures. I already had a complaint submitted regarding a crash due to ABS failure on december 31, 2005. Since the damage was fixed from the accident and the ABS was supposedly fixed, we have had many more ABS failures. It has been to the dealer 3 times (this time being the 3rd) after the initial problem and each time they supposedly fix it (between the wiring harness, the ebcm, and the wheel speed sensor I don't know what is causing it now). They keep telling us it is a non-critical system, but it caused an accident. …”

“My daughter had un-buckled her seat belt because it had locked up, so I went to make a quick stop so I could buckle her back up. I stepped on the brakes moderately hard and the anti-locks activated for about 1 second, then suddenly the wheels completely locked up and the van went into an uncontrollable skid. I hit an 8 curb head on, jumped over it and landed on the front lawn of a motel and skidded to a stop. The front tires popped, the wheels were pushed all the way back to the back of the wheel wells, the frame is bent (body lines don't line up) and I'm sure there is much more wrong with it. …”

“Numerous attempts to fix the same and continuously different problems with our 2005 Montana. Flickering interior lights, ABS system failure (4x), retorque harmonic balancer, replace radio that randomly changed stations, replace molding on all doors from rust (2x), right wheel bearing and hub assembly replacement (2x), replace turn signal lamps (2x), replace fuel level sensor, replace strap on rear door that fell off. …”

“Dt: the contact stated when releasing brake pressure on an incline the vehicle rolled back. The passenger's air bag light illuminated intermittently. Also, while driving the remote control doors open and close, and power door locks lock and unlock. The dealer noted this was normal, and no repairs have been made.”

“Both sliding doors problem malfunctioning. Driver slider will not open until you manually unlock from door. Passenger door will open without notice even after new motor/mechanism replaced by dealer. Abs system failure repaired three times in two weeks by dealer.”
